Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Woke up with ghosts in my teeth Grinding on old mistakes Same cracked mirror Same cheap ceiling Same replayed heartache Dust on my boots from that grave Where I buried my own name Still I drag those rusted chains Like I’m proud of the weight [Chorus] Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today Let it burn Let it burn in the back of your brain All that blame All that pain Every scar you replay Leave it in the ashes Leave it in the ashes (hey!) [Verse 2] I’ve been the judge and the jailed Carving my sins in stone But every sentence I gave myself Just cut me to the bone Tired of living on rewind Bleeding from phantom fights I’m done kneeling at that shrine To a past that died [Chorus] Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today Let it burn Let it burn in the back of your brain All that blame All that pain Every scar you replay Leave it in the ashes Leave it in the ashes (woah) [Bridge] If you’re sick of that same old story Scream it out Tear out the page Every breath is borrowed glory Take it back Step through the flame [Chorus] Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today Let it burn Let it burn till it can’t say your name All that blame All that pain Every scar you replay Leave it in the ashes Leave it in the ashes Leave it in the ashes (today)

metal, Modern metal with tight, palm-muted guitars and double-kick drums, mid-tempo that surges into a soaring half-time chorus; male vocals moving from tense, rhythmic verse delivery to open, melodic hooks with layered gang shouts; chunky bass locked to drums, one syncopated lead guitar line shadowing the vocal in the chorus, brief ambient feedback swell into a heavier final refrain
